    [22 SEPTEMBER 2022] You never cease to surprise me –cliché I known, especially consideringthe circumstances – but I have never thoughtit truer than I do now.

  • I heard it, once

    5 November 2019 I heard it, once. Heard it in the way the dark arcs across the horizon and the way the wind blows through the pine needles on the shoreline at dusk. I saw it, once. Mapped in the spaces between the stars. I wrote your name in the snow on the hillside. I…

  • St. Hilarion, Cyprus, 371

    [21 October 2019] And so we baptise our longings, Transform our desires, Give up from them that which we can no longer ourselves give: Selves, whole selves, holy selves, Selves worth saving; We breathe – Each word, each moment, stands as a testament to itself: An icon of abstractions, a temple of fragments, A shoreline…

  • The Silent Pilgrim

    [17 October 2019] Stay with me a while longer. I hear you breathe, slow, steady. Trapped in a lazy bower of arms and wills intertwined and enmeshed and indistinguishable from one another. The headlights from a car passing through the night shine through the window, white curtain diffusing light glow, casting long shadows over your…

  • The Beheading of John the Baptist

    [29 August 2019] The miles drag on. I wear a rut14 months thick in the space betweentwo railway ties. I count the distance,measuring it in bygones and forgones, consideringall things as nothing except that they might bemore than I initially suspected, making mudfrom dirt and saliva, and serving upmy eyes on a silver platter, the…

  • The Remains of St. Paul, 28 March

    [27 August 2019] We watch in silence as the bulldozers tear down the rest of the old church, brick and plywood and old green carpeting descending from the sky and landing in a heap on the bare earth. The dust cloud lingers, disseminates, spreads and works its way onto our skin and into our bodies,…

  • On Silence, and All the Ways I’ve Used It

    [26 April 2019] Two years ago, instead of giving up sweets or swearing or social media for Lent, I decided to try something different. I decided to give up any form of digital media that was only going to entertain me. In other words, Game Boys and TV on my commute and headphones were out;…
